Testimonials

“We thought we were in good shape with this aspect of our lives. However, the experience we are going through with Paul Grassmann has totally changed our thinking on what Estate Planning truly is and the thoroughness with which this subject should be approached. We have explored and acted on desires, wishes and ideas that were not in our thoughts prior to these sessions.

What a powerful, enlightening, educational, comforting experience it is. We feel Paul genuinely cares about us and wants to do everything in his power to support our values and objectives in the best way possible. Paul and the Thompson & Associates process has been an amazing gift to us for which we are very grateful.”
